Come on out and hear Francesca Bell, Matty Layne Glasgow, Dorianne Laux, Joshua Mensch, and Maggie Smith read from their poetry. This exciting off-site reading is just a half-mile walk from the Convention Center or an easy ride on the Portland Streetcar B-Loop. Cider Riot! is a pub dedicated to producing and serving high-quality ciders made on site from Cascadian grown apples. Outside food is welcome, and a taco truck will be parked out front for those who'd like to enjoy dinner while they listen.
